Made It Myself Monday Week 9

Hello Again,
Here's another week of Made It Myself Monday hosted by Alex from "You Had Me At Craft". If you would like to link up with all of us and show your creations here's the link for you.

My goal this week was to use up all my leftover baby yarn. I had just enough to make a small crocheted afghan that measures 22" x 33".

Thanks for checking out my project this week. I would love it if you left a comment. If you get a chance hop on over to "You Had Me At Craft" and check out all the other projects that everyone has been working on for this week. Remember to leave a comment for them as well.

Lori, your afghan looks darling... I'm so jealous you can crochet such beautiful things! I tried my hand at it a few years ago and just didn't have the patience (sigh), so I have lots of admiration for talented crocheters like yourself :)

I love the fresh country air and the smell of nature. I'm a friendly outgoing person with a bubbly personality and seem make friends easily. I except everyone for who they are and what they believe. I have no problem voicing my opinion and if you asked me a question you will get an honest answer(like it or not). Last but not least, My motto is "I Work to Live" NOT "Live to Work"!

Cody

This is Cody ~~~~~ All 7 lbs of him ~~~~~ Isn’t he just the cutest ~~~~~ Well let me tell you ~~~~~ He guards as if he was a Pit Bull ~~~~~ He is as demanding as a two year old ~~~~~ He behaves like a rebellious teenager ~~~~~ He preens himself as if he were a cat ~~~~~ He barks at everything ~~~~~ He begs for attention continuously ~~~~~ And he’s my couch cuddlebug ~~~~~ Is he spoiled? You bet!!!!! ~~~~~ I would not have it any other way : )

Where I Work

I started working for Walgreens on January 24, 1992 the year Walgreens opened its first drugstore with a drive-thru pharmacy. This was supposed to be a temporary part time job for me. It was such a great company to work for that I never left. I am the Administrative Assistant for Market 16 NYC/CT and just love it. I have met so many great people over the years from co-workers, to customers, to the vendors. Some of whom I have become very close friends with. I have seen and been through so many changes within this company. Some of the changes were great, some not so great, but you learn to adjust. Life is all about changes and Walgreens is no different. I feel fortunate to be part of a company that allows me to balance the things in life most important to me. Thanks Walgreens!!
